The European Union’s strategy on health and safety at work has identified education and the prevention culture as key factors for maintaining and improving the quality of work. Supporting this strategy the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work has published a report, Mainstreaming occupational safety and health into education: Good practice in school and vocational education, which provides a comprehensive overview of good practice examples throughout Europe and outlines steps toward a systematic strategy to integrate occupational safety and health (OSH) into education and training. This factsheet summarises the report.
